What Texts Did Pete Hegseth Send to Jeffrey Goldberg?
On March 15, 2025, Goldberg was allegedly included in a group chat regarding the forthcoming military strikes in Yemen, he claimed in an Atlantic article published on March 24, 2025. The Signal messaging app group allegedly included Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The journalist wrote in the article that he started receiving group chat messages at 11:44 a.m. on March 15 revealing the “operational details of forthcoming strikes on Yemen, including information about targets, weapons the U.S. would be deploying, and attack sequencing.”
“The information contained in them, if they had been read by an adversary of the United States, could conceivably have been used to harm American military and intelligence personnel, particularly in the broader Middle East,” Goldberg wrote.
Are The Atlantic War Plan Texts Real?
Trump told a group of reporters that he didn’t “know anything about” The Atlantic article nor the text messages. The White House’s National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes confirmed that the reported texts appeared to be real.
“At this time, the message thread that was reported appears to be authentic, and we are reviewing how an inadvertent number was added to the chain,” Hughes indicated said in an emailed statement, according to The New York Times. adding that the text thread was “a demonstration of the deep and thoughtful policy coordination between senior officials.”
According to multiple outlets, though, Hegseth denied that war plans were unveiled in messages, telling reporters that “nobody was texting war plans” and calling Goldberg a “deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist.”
